Arboretum Drive may be used for running, cycling, and walking events—however, all events must be permitted and adhere to our guidelines. See the Athletic Events page for more information.

Photography Policy

The Arboretum is a popular, much-loved landscape for photographers. Photography for personal non-commercial use is allowed without a permit.

Amateur and professional photographers taking posed or formal pictures (for example engagement, wedding, senior year, family) must obtain a permit. Stock and commercial photography and videography requires advance arrangements with the university. All photographers and clients must follow Visitor Etiquette. Go to the Photography Policy page for information and to purchase a permit online.
